A long time ago, people used to eat the food without cooking it, which was a complicated thing because of the troubles of eating hard, raw food. There is evidence that before discovering the fire, which means that people didn’t cook the meat, people had cavities in their teeth and they presented a lot of digestive complications. Therefore, they used to use the teeth to chew hard seeds or to broke seed shells. This evidence demonstrates that a long time ago people didn’t have the tools to prepare the food adequately as we do today. We prepare food so that it is so much softer and friendly to our health and body.

The way people prepare food nowadays is faster and easier than before. Is about going to the store and buy some kitchen tools, and we will save a lot of time preparing food, which gives us the opportunity to spend time with the family or friends instead of cooking all day long. Also, people like to make experiments while cooking, mixing spices and different ingredients that we find at the market so that we can taste assorted flavors. Because of the low range of ingredients that people used to have before, I believe that they couldn’t enjoy the food in this way.

Whereas I say that the way we prepare food nowadays, it is true that we have a lot of troubles because of the chemicals used in the food like dyes, nitrates, and pesticides on the culture of fruits and vegetables. For example, it is proved that nitrates consumption is a certain cause of colon cancer. The good thing is that scientific realized about that and they are looking for new alternatives to solve these complications.
